If Carly Carlyfiorinafornia’s Senate campaign is a twenty-car pile-up involving a tractor-trailer loaded with demon sheep, then the equally quixotic Senatorial campaign of Mickey Kaus is a fender-bender between two Ford Escorts in a Big Lots parking lot. It fails the Rubberneck test. Quite frankly Mickey is having problems getting anyone to pay attention to [...]

Hi. Basset posts will probably be later going forward  what with the time change and the nice(r) weather which allows us to take the boys for a walk around the bay in the evenings. Fenway had a close encounter of the possum kind the other night when I took him out. Moonless and dark as [...]

There are some things that even Nike’s money can’t fix.

Upon hearing that one of the victims is a young girl, the pilots laugh, “Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids to a battle”. Aspiring to become History’s Greatest  Monster, Marc Thiessen wants you to know that those guys in the Apache attack helicopter are probably kicking themselves right now over that whole bang-bang [...]

Oh for AOL/Jesus  Christ’s sake! It appears that  the do-nothing  namby-pamby hopey-changey  Kenyan terrorist President is covering for his African 4-1-9  scammer friends in Nigeria and has totally  ruled out  dropping the big one on their jungle-country resulting in a blasted landscape of death not unlike Wyoming and some parts of Indiana. Congresslady Michelle Bachmann, [...]

While the Flight of The Sarcastic Diplomat story was pretty much a big nothing it is worth noting two things; First, every time some little something happens in the air, Americans immediately go DefCon Shit All Over Themselves. Jesus, people, relax. Oh wait….BOOGA BOOGA! Yeah. Right. Now go clean yourself up, Mr. Poopypants. Secondly, thank [...]

Now that I have been so defined, I think we’re going to stick with this one for awhile. Ipod Please: Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division A Free Man In Paris – Sufjan Stevens Back To Memphis – The Band Apple Trees – Eels Kneel and Disconnect – Porcupine Tree Helter Skelter – [...]

Colby Hall makes a very special cameo appearance in the comments to clear the air about the Wikileaks video post. Colby writes: I don’t have a distaste for Wikileaks – as I said, they deserve to be lauded for a lot of what they do. What I believe is that the footage speaks for itself, [...]

In a surprisingly public confession, inquisition fanboy and future denizen of the worst neighborhood in Hell, Marc Thiessen finally finds something that offends his deeply felt moral sensibilities. That would be comparing the Pope to a Republican: The comparison between Pope Benedict XVI and President Nixon is shameful, and it is also wrong. The obvious [...]

Former VH1 producer turned Mediaite media critic & moral philosopher Colby Hall is deep thinkin’ on the  kill-them-all-let-God-sort-them-out-and-the-Pentagon-will-cover- your-tracks WikiLeaks video: While in some respects, WikiLeaks should be lauded for getting information out, the way that this is presented goes beyond responsible. “Indiscriminate” implies hit-or-miss or thoughtless. But this video clearly demonstrates that not to [...]
